Eye Ultrasound (B-Scan & A-Scan) in Kirti Nagar
Advanced Ocular Imaging for Accurate Diagnosis of Retinal Detachment, Severe Cataracts, and Eye Traumas.
What is an Eye Ultrasound (Ocular Scan)?
An Eye Ultrasound, also known as an ocular ultrasound, is a quick, painless, and non-invasive imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to generate highly detailed images of the interior of your eye. This scan is exceptionally crucial when dense cataracts or internal bleeding block the doctor’s view of the back of your eye. The procedure typically includes two parts: The A-Scan (Amplitude Scan), which precisely measures the length of the eye to help calculate the correct lens implant for cataract surgery, and the B-Scan (Brightness Scan), which provides a 2D cross-section of the eye and its orbit to detect severe issues like retinal detachment, tumors, tissue damage, or foreign bodies. At Neeraj Diagnostic Centre in Kirti Nagar, we utilize state-of-the-art ocular imaging equipment to deliver rapid and highly accurate reports, empowering your eye specialist to plan the safest and most effective treatment for your vision.
Eye Ultrasound: Conditions We Detect
An ocular ultrasound is an essential diagnostic tool used by eye specialists to accurately diagnose severe internal eye conditions:
Cataract Surgery Planning
Using precision A-Scans to measure the exact length of the eye, which is critical for determining the correct artificial intraocular lens (IOL) power before cataract surgery.
Retinal Detachment
Utilizing B-Scans to clearly visualize the back of the eye and detect a torn or detached retina, especially when a dense cataract completely blocks the doctor's view.
Vitreous Hemorrhage & Trauma
Quickly identifying internal bleeding within the gel-like substance of the eye or locating hidden foreign objects following a severe eye injury or trauma.
Ocular Tumors & Lesions
Providing highly detailed cross-sectional imaging to locate, measure, and monitor the growth of abnormal cysts, lesions, or tumors behind or inside the eye.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the eye ultrasound painful, and how should I prepare?
An eye ultrasound is a completely painless and non-invasive procedure. You do not need to fast or make any special preparations before the scan. Depending on the type of scan, anesthetic eye drops may be used to numb your eye for maximum comfort, but the entire process is very quick and highly safe, as it uses sound waves instead of radiation.
What is the difference between an A-Scan and a B-Scan?
While both use ultrasound technology, they serve different purposes. An A-Scan measures the exact length of your eye, which is essential for doctors to calculate the correct artificial lens power before cataract surgery. A B-Scan creates a 2D cross-section of your eye, allowing the doctor to clearly see the retina and check for detachments, internal bleeding, or tumors, even if a very dense cataract is blocking their normal view.
Can I drive home immediately after an eye ultrasound?
In most cases, yes. The ultrasound itself does not blur your vision or affect your ability to safely drive. However, if your doctor has also used dilating drops to widen your pupils for a comprehensive eye exam along with the scan, your vision may remain temporarily blurry and highly sensitive to light for a few hours. In that specific case, it is safer to have someone else drive you home.
